There are two turtles in my house, probably called Bass Tortoise. One has kept 1 1 year, and the other has kept it for almost 8 years. In the last 8 years, the tortoise always breathed with its mouth open, its nose was red and it was soft in the water. He always floats on the water, eats nothing and sleeps with his head down. I'm really worried.
Just check the information and write it down:
pneumonia
【 Etiology 】 The sudden drop in temperature caused inflammation of turtle lungs. This disease often occurs in summer or during hibernation!
【 Symptoms 】 The sick turtle has a runny nose, shortness of breath, louder voice than usual, and white mucus in his mouth. Terrestrial turtles with this disease will drink more water!
【 Prevention 】 Keep the temperature of turtle house constant in winter, and pay attention to ventilation in summer. If you have this disease, you should isolate the sick turtle in time and soak it in the diluent of streptomycin, penicillin and other drugs!
pneumonia
Symptoms: The sick turtle has a runny nose, which thickens in the later stage, with loud breathing and white mucus on the turtle mouth or water surface.
Prevention and control methods: ensure that the temperature of the turtle house is constant and the temperature difference changes little. Pay attention to ventilation in summer. When the ambient temperature drops suddenly, the temperature should be raised in time. Firstly, the sick turtles were isolated and raised in 0.5~ 1 kg water, then soaked in10 ~120,000 units of potassium permanganate for 4~5 hours, and then sprayed with 20,000 units of ciprofloxacin; Oral norfloxacin 10mg cefalexin 5mg for 5~6 days.
In severe cases, gentamicin, streptomycin and so on. It can be injected intramuscularly according to 3 ml turtle weight 10 kg.
1, isolation, raise the temperature of the feeding box to about 30 degrees.
2. Add gentamicin into water according to the ratio of 1: 20.
The most important thing is to give medicine. Crush amoxicillin and vitamin XXI (a little), mix it with raw eggs (a little) evenly, gently hold the sides of the head with thumb and forefinger when the tortoise stretches its head, open its mouth with a large needle tail, and drip the mixture of medicine and eggs with a syringe. One or two drops each time, about ten drops each time, twice a day.
Try not to inject treatment. Many people don't know the dose, which leads to the death of turtle after injection.
However, according to my personal experience, I have a way to make turtles start eating as soon as possible, and then take measures to treat pneumonia after eating. Raise the water temperature to above 28℃ and visit some anti-inflammatory drugs in the water properly. Turtles will eat in this environment for about a week. Pay attention to changing water for turtles every day. Bacteria multiply quickly in high temperature environment, and changing water frequently will have an impact on the health of turtles. After the tortoise began to eat, it began to treat pneumonia. Usually, the medicine is infused three times a day. Feed one-third of amoxicillin powder aqueous solution each time and pour it into the turtle's mouth. This link is usually not easy to carry out. Turtles are stubborn and stubborn. Often ends in failure. I usually inject the prepared medicine into the stomach of small fish and feed it to turtles. If your turtle wants to eat steamed bread, you can mix one-third of amoxicillin powder into small steamed bread slices and knead them evenly for the turtle to eat. This method is very simple, and it also saves the trouble of feeding medicine to the turtle. Never, please keep the water temperature at about 28 degrees during turtle's treatment of pneumonia.
You should keep these turtles separately, so that the other turtle won't get sick. During the treatment, it is very helpful for them to get more sunshine. Those who are not sick should also get more sunshine to enhance their resistance.
White eye disease
Etiology: Due to the high feeding density, the water was not changed in time, the water quality became worse and the alkalinity was too heavy. The onset season is mostly in spring and autumn, and the spring after wintering is the peak of epidemic. The disease is more common in Brazilian colored turtles, tortoises, spotted turtles and scarabs. And the incidence of young turtles is higher.
Symptoms: the eyes of the sick turtle are inflamed and congested, and gradually turn gray and swollen. Cornea and nasal mucosa are eroded by ocular inflammation, which can lead to blindness and respiratory obstruction in severe cases. The outside of the eyeball is covered with white secretions, and the eyes cannot be opened. Sick turtles often rub their eyes with their forelimbs, which makes them move slowly. In severe cases, people stopped eating, and finally died of weakness and other diseases. Some sick turtles have only one eye at the beginning of the disease. If no measures are taken, symptoms will soon appear in the other eye.
Prevention and control: change water frequently, keep the water clean, feed nutritious drugs on time, and improve the turtle's own resistance. Sick turtles should be raised separately, and the original feeding containers should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization. If some turtles raised in the same tank are found to have white eye disease, other turtles can be soaked in furacilin (or furazolidone) solution. This is both a preventive measure and an early treatment. The concentration of young turtles is 20 mg/L, and the concentration of young turtles to adults is 30 mg/L. The soaking time depends on the water temperature. If necessary, soak 1 time (40 minutes) every day for 3-5 days.
For soft-shelled turtles (those who can still open their eyes and take the initiative to eat), they can be soaked in low-concentration salt water or raised in 15 mg/L furazolidone or furazolidone solution, and they can recover in about a week. Or soak it in 30 mg/L liquid medicine for 40 minutes every day for about a week to recover.
If the turtle is seriously ill (refusing to eat, unable to open its eyes), soak it in antibiotic medicine solution (containing 500- 1000 units of antibiotics per milliliter) for more than 1 hour every day, then apply antibacterial eye ointment and store it in the dark to promote the white secretion to fall off as soon as possible.
For turtles with serious diseases (eye erosion), the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eyes should be removed first, and if there is bleeding, it should be cleaned continuously. Then, soak the soft-shelled turtle in the liquid medicine containing vitamin B and oxytetracycline. The liquid medicine is prepared according to the ratio of every 500g of water 1/2 tablets of oxytetracycline and 2 tablets of vitamin B. This sick turtle may be blind.
For the treatment of green turtles, 1% furazolidone solution should be applied to the eyes, and the whole body immersion method is not suitable.
Or use Medilac in the feeding water, each glass goldfish bowl 1 tablet. This method should be used when the green turtle is sick. Streptomycin can also be dissolved in water, so that every 1 mg of water contains 65438+ 10,000-200,000 international units, which is suitable for treating diseases of green turtle and other small water turtles.
Mild white eye disease is the most common in Brazil.
Severe white eye disease may lead to blindness.
Rot and rot
Etiology: caused by monospora. Due to the high feeding density, turtles bite each other, and after bacterial invasion, the skin tissue of the injured part is necrotic. Water pollution can also easily cause turtles to get this disease.
Symptoms: the affected part of the diseased turtle festers and the epidermis is white.
Prevention and treatment: First, remove the focus of the affected area and apply it with chlortetracycline eye ointment once a day. If the turtle eats by itself, oxytetracycline powder can be added to the bait; If the soft-shelled turtle has stopped eating, oxytetracycline can be fed at a dose of 1 g per kilogram of soft-shelled turtle, and then the sick soft-shelled turtle can be isolated. Don't feed water, so as not to aggravate the condition. After recovering, the tortoise was kept in the pond.
Mild necrotic skin is most likely to occur in the armpit, across the nest, neck and other parts with more skin folds.
The skin is badly rotted. The diseased glans penis has been unable to expand and contract normally.
water mould
Etiology: Turtles live in water or dark and humid places for a long time, which is not suitable for water quality. Fungi can infect the skin of turtles.
Symptoms: There is no abnormality at the initial stage of infection, and then loss of appetite, weakness, or hibernation death. With the development of the disease, gray spots appear on the body surface, head, limbs and tail, commonly known as "roughness", and then the epidermis forms swelling, ulceration, necrosis or shedding, and dies soon. Water mold mostly occurs in the head, neck, limbs and tail of turtles. The mycelium is white, soft and cotton-ball-shaped. At first, the sick turtle had no appetite and fidgeted. In severe cases, the tortoise is emaciated, unable to eat, and even dies. Chinese tortoises, Brazilian tortoises, Nessler's tortoises and scarabs are susceptible to this disease.
Prevention and control: In the daily feeding and management of turtles, turtles should be exposed to the sun frequently, so as to inhibit the breeding of water mold and achieve the preventive effect. For sick turtles, 4% salt solution can be prepared to soak sick turtles 10 minute, and the feeding containers can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection. At the same time, proper amount of antibiotics were mixed in the food to improve the resistance of soft-shelled turtle. Soft-shelled turtle can also be cultured in 1% Chidamycin solution for a period of time, and it also has a good therapeutic effect.
Rotting nail disease
Etiology: The crustaceans were damaged or squeezed, and bacteria invaded the tortoise shell, which led to the crustaceans festering.
Symptoms: The tortoise's carapace or carapace begins to show white spots and gradually forms red spots. When pressed hard, blood oozes and smells rancid. Severe crustacean surface will fester into holes, and armpit and buttock fossa will swell. Sick turtles stop eating, reduce their activities and shrink their heads. Four-eyed water turtles, side-necked turtles and snake-necked turtles are prone to this disease.
Prevention and treatment: puncture the shield of the affected area, squeeze out blood, remove the focus, and directly apply salt or potassium permanganate crystal powder to the affected area once a day, which will heal in about a week, but there will be permanent scars on the tortoise shell.
Brazilian tortoise with badly rotted nails, its shell has been festered.
China tortoise with badly rotted nails, the joint of the shell is festering.
Nail rot
Etiology: After the shell was worn, bacteria invaded and the shell festered. It is also possible to suffer mechanical damage, such as being hit by hard objects in the process of field capture or transportation, or falling from a height to cause shell damage.
Symptoms: The surface of crustaceans festers, forming holes in severe cases, and even seeing muscles. Sick turtles don't eat or eat less.
Prevention and treatment: remove the diseased turtle focus, scrub the affected area with hydrogen peroxide, and then directly apply potassium permanganate crystal powder to the affected area. For fresh wounds, Yunnan Baiyao should be applied to stop bleeding, carefully bandaged and nursed back to health.

According to the above information yesterday, it was judged that it might be a lung disease. I bought 16 yuan's medicine, so I can't feed it, so I have to sprinkle it with water. Today, I look fine, but I still refuse to eat.

It seems much better to give turtle so many days of medicine. I started eating yesterday and ate a lot.
In the first few days, the little turtle was isolated. It looks pitiful, mainly because its eyes are often closed. When I call it, it always struggles for a long time (it takes 1-2 minutes) to open its eyes. I'm really afraid it will die. It looked at me helplessly and moved its mouth. Its eyelids are bloodshot, too. I'm afraid it's soaked too much. After taking medicine (that is, dry suspension powder for treating upper respiratory tract and pneumonia), the turtle's eyes are the fastest and can be opened in a few seconds. However, because it has not eaten for a long time, it is difficult to crawl. With the buoyancy of water, it can't advance 2 cm. Every time I try to give it a small whitebait, but it's always in vain. Cut it into small pieces and don't eat it until I ate 6 small pieces yesterday (wasting 2 small pieces)

The little turtle is ready. I put it with chinemys reevesii. I thought they were all happy, but I don't know why. Chinemys reevesii was very unhappy about the little turtle's return. Maybe his territory is not big and he has grown up. He doesn't want to be with the little turtle, and the little turtle doesn't want to go back. They were both making trouble (dancing their limbs hard), which bothered me for several days. Today, Li listened to me here.

Chinemys reevesii stayed in our home 1 1 year. From Shanghai to Jingdezhen and then to Shenzhen. It's a turtle with fate. Call it fate. This little turtle is bought for its companion. Was taken to Shenzhen in Jingdezhen. Call it a partner. Companions have always been supporting roles. It has grown up silently. I hope the new place can give it a protagonist's luck.

It is really long.
Give them some food.
I don't eat turtle food, only shrimp. What should I do? Will it be malnourished?
Commentator: lymlp22 Date of comment: May 24, 2007 1 1: 56
I grew up eating shrimp and have never seen malnutrition.

Yuanyuan is 19 cm long and 15 cm wide this year. Partner length15cm, width10cm.
My colleague said that she wanted to adopt a companion, but later she changed her mind, so we stopped going to other people's homes and could not bear to leave.
Fortunately, my companion stayed, otherwise we might have misunderstood something. I don't know why. After the companion recovered, he still didn't eat much. I thought it had other problems, but seeing that it was healthy, I tried to put it with Yuanyuan again, hoping not to fight. In fact, my worry is unnecessary. Both of them look very happy. Yuanyuan's eating situation has also improved because she wants to lay eggs.
